Eventful Harvest Day

Kelly took this photo with the sun behind the combine at sunset.

Joey checked on the corn.
It is the first year they planted corn and so far it is has had adequate rain.

One lonely tassle

Take a good look Joey.

Joey and Mick fixed the flat tire on the header trailer.

Joey hooked up the header to the combine

We had to take the headers off the combines to move to another field because the roads and gates are too narrow for the header to fit through. Joey is setting the header on the trailer.

It seems Kelly and Mick are telling jokes while Joey does all the work!

More of Joey working.

I was riding in the tractor with Joey when I held the camera in front of me and pointed it back at Joey. It turned out well and you can see the combine in the background.

Joey was smiling because he knew he was going to be teased about the fact that his wife Kelly was saving Joey by driving the combine. Joey is driving the tractor that pulls the grain cart.
I do believe Kelly is the BEST combine driver west of the Mississippi.

Joey and Matt put the tarp on the truck. Matt drove the red truck on this day.

Matt stood on the top of the truck to monitor the amount of grain in the trailer.

Another view of dumping grain from the grain cart to the truck. You can see the three trucks lined up and ready for grain.

The day started with a gathering of the minds. Unfortunately, Nancy, Mick and Susan were not part of that meeting. They had their own meeting of the mindless.

Mom made Kolaches and they were delicious!
